Re: Vs: Carl Zeiss Jena zoom lens 70-210 Pentax KA

[Alan Chan]

That should explain why it looks very much like the Sigma that I had 10 years ago - the shape, the aperture ring, the front element assembly, and even the electrical contacts. I think this lens works on XR-P camera too (see the bigger contact?). Btw, my Sigma sucked mechanically.

I don't think so, Raimo. In the eighties, some lenses sold under the
name of the East German Carl Zeiss were manufactured by Sigma in Japan,
and also some of the Pentacon lenses, especially zooms.
